Count Basie › Lyrics › Sent for You Yesterday

Well, don't the moon look lonesome
Shining through the tree
Well, don't the moon look lonesome
Shining through the tree
Don't your house look lonesome
When your baby packs up to leave

Well, I sent for you yesterday
An’ here you come today
Well, I sent for you yesterday
An’ here you come today
You can help me, baby
Go out treatin’ me that way

Come back and love me, pretty baby
Come back right away
Come back and love me, baby
Hurry up right away
Don’t you know that I’m unhappy
When you treatin’ me that way

Well, I sent for you yesterday
An’ here you come today
Well, I sent for you yesterday
An’ here you come today
You can’t love me, pretty baby
And treat me that way

Pretty baby
